Now in its eighth year, Hip Hop Theater comes back to the Bardavon on Thursday.

In this special performance, middle school students from Poughkeepsie will perform stories from their lives through the vessel of hip-hop. It's a culmination of a two-week residency program led by rappers and teaching artists Yako440 and Mtume. They're helped by Playback Theater of New York City.

The show is at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Bardavon, 35 Market St., Poughkeepsie. Tickets are $6. For information, call 800-745-3000 or visit ticketmaster.com.
